Fantastic work for the price! This was my second time working with Mellissa, and if I write anything else worth editing, I will be sure to come back for a third time.

About this Gig
Do you have a sci-fi or fantasy novel ready for that last step before publication? My goal is to offer proofreading that is friendly towards authors with tight budgets.
My preference is to work with fantasy novels, but I'll work on most forms of fiction as well.
I will check your document for:
~Spelling
~Grammar
~Word usage
If you haven't gone through the editing process, this service may not be right for you at this time. I won't turn you away, but there's a chance you won't get the full benefit from it as you would with an edited manuscript.
Before you hire me, please note that I offer a free sample to all new clients. I will do a proofread of your first chapter (or the prologue if your book starts there). As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. My inbox is always open.
Note: It is against my policy to work with material created with help from AI programs such as ChatGPT.

FAQ
Will you format my book?
No, but I'll check to make sure your manuscript's formatting is consistent (size, font, spacing, etc).
Will you give me feedback on my story?
Probably not. A proofreader's job is to check spelling, grammar, and formatting. If you're considering this service, I'm assuming you've had beta and editorial feedback already.
